Every human being had his own gate. He must not err and wish to enter the orchard through a gate other than his own. That would present a danger not only for the one entering but also for those who are already inside" (5). The Jewish stay true to who they are and do not want to get off their path to holy righteousness. They must follow their own path and theirs alone.]]> 2021-12-03 14:41:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1927474837 kendall_hennis https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1927485970 "Moishe was not the same. The joy in his eyes was gone. He no longer sang. He no longer mentioned either God or Kabbalah. He
spoke only of what he had seen. But people not only refused to believe his tales, they refused to listen. Some even insinuated that he only wanted their pity, that he was imagining things. Others flatly said that he had gone mad" (7) He is now completely broken and not the same person. It is hard to comprehend how he must feel and how lifeless he is.]]> 2021-12-03 14:45:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1927485970 kendall_hennis https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1931092121 They were marched and if they died, they died.

Tomorrow could be worse yet" (23). They did not know what was to come and were uncertain of their fate. They saved for tomorrow because tomorrow could be worse.]]> 2021-12-06 13:40:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1931103327 kendall_hennis https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1931116873 "By daybreak, Mrs. Schachter had settled down. Crouching in the corner, her blank gaze fixed on some faraway place, she no longer saw us" (26). She was broken and drawn mad. She was turned crazy form the horrors that happened and even though there was eventually a fire, she was screaming about said fire long before it came into view. Maybe she somehow knew what was happening and that is what made her mad, never the less the human in her had left her eyes and she was a shell of herself.]]> 2021-12-06 13:45:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1931116873 kendall_hennis https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1931118797 A lady was yelling "Fire, Fire", she had seen the flames of the cremation.

As a result, he was beaten with a whip over and over again till he passed out. Even after, they were still beating him. When they told him to get up he tried but could not. This is degrading as a human and had to make Elie feel terrible. They broke him doen in every factor by beating him.]]> 2021-12-10 12:52:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1940254067 kendall_hennis https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1940456389 "Don't be deluded. Hitler has made it clear that he will annihilate all Jews before the clock strikes twelve" (80). They know what Hitler wants and do not think anyone will come in their way.

"I have more faith in Hitler than in anyone else. He alone has kept his promises, all his promises, to the Jewish people" (81).
They have submitted to Hitler and believe what he says. He has not lied about what he would do to the Jewish people and they have no reason to doubt that he will not have them killed before they are liberated.]]> 2021-12-10 14:35:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1940456389 kendall_hennis https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1940572033 "My soul had been invaded-and devoured-by a black flame" (37).

This striped them of their humanity and their self thinking quickly. They had to do the same thing over and over again doing terrible things on no energy.]]> 2021-12-10 15:55:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1940624150 kendall_hennis https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1940643795 "Bite your lips, little brother...Don't cry. Keep your anger,
your hate, for another day, for later. The day will come but not
now...Wait. Clench your teeth and w a i t ... " (53). He was given this advise by a young Jewish woman after being beaten to a pulp by Idek. There was nothing he could do that day and his anger that he felt could be put to use in other places and saved for the day they are free. She believed that things would get better by saying these words because she believed that a time to use that anger would come.]]> 2021-12-10 16:04:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1940643795 kendall_hennis https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1940730741 Elie had a lot of swelling in one of his feet. He went to the infirmary and they determined that he needed to be operated on. He was treated with kindness and the "doctor" cut open his foot and released a lot of puss. He was set to be back to 100% in 2 weeks of relaxation but with the Russians approaching there was no time for that. He decided to go with his father even though his foot had not healed. When he walked the snow turned red and unknowingly, if he would have stayed put, he would have been freed.]]> 2021-12-10 16:50:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1940730741 kendall_hennis https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1940743393 Elie says that when he dreams, he dreams of a place without a bell. This is sad to think that all he wants in his entire life is to not be under someone else control. Every action he makes is not his own and his in particular will to carry out his own actions is almost gone. He dreams of a place where he doesn't wake up to the same Hell everyday and can think for himself.]]> 2021-12-10 16:57:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1940743393 kendall_hennis https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1947164211 "My father's presence was the only thing that stopped me. He was running next to me, out of breath, out of strength, desperate" (86). His father was the only thing that was keeping him from being in a better situation. All the calls he has made have been solely for his father and to help him.]]> 2021-12-14 14:41:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1947164211 kendall_hennis https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1947339939 "Father! Father! Wake up. They're going to throw you outside" (99). There was so many deaths that they were throwing the bodies out of the train as it was moving. Since Elie's dad was heavily asleep and it looked like he was dead, they were going to throw him out as well. Elie hit him till he woke and they went away.]]> 2021-12-14 15:40:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1947339939 kendall_hennis https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1947362759 "I knew that I was no longer arguing with him but with Death itself, with Death that he had already chosen" (105). Elie's dad has already given up, it was up to him he would want to drop dead on the spot. Elie had to convince him to move another foot from the icy grave that he wanted. He is old and weary and no more than skin and bones. His will is gone and his hope is gone.]]> 2021-12-14 15:49:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1947362759 kendall_hennis https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1947382605 "From the depths of the mirror, a corpse was contemplating me. The look in his eyes as he gazed at me has never left me" (115). He has not seen himself since he had to leave his home. He is a Shell of his former self and a skeleton is his reflection. Those eyes, those bland and painful eyes that he had were the result of living in Hell for a year.]]> 2021-12-14 15:56:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1947382605 kendall_hennis https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1947396888 That same blank expression has been n his face since he was 16. His eyes just rest in his head and do not have any emotion in them. He was a broken man and that more or less never much changed. Those who were affected by the Nazi will never be the same again and I am sure they will never see the world the same as everyone else.]]> 2021-12-14 16:01:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kendall_hennis/yo6x0jxd351ki1qp/wish/1947396888
